I've just been reading By the Pricking of My Thumbs by Agatha Christie, and a very similar picture takes a big role in the plot, so it was quite spooky to see your picture too - I wondered if you'd been reading the book!

I believe it enhances the quantity without actually doing so, which means more money for less food.Prashant C.
